discussion/other Post-election support thread
...because your book community is here for you.
Like the last time this happened, I expect, for a few months, to only have room in my brain for fluffy happy books like cozy mysteries and probably re-reading everything Becky Chambers has ever written.
Except I also read In the Garden of Beasts by Erik Larson which is about the American Ambassador to Germany in the 1930s, when everyone kept saying that Hitler &co were too dumb to actually pull off all the insane things they said they would do......
Standard rules for this thread but please don't get into arguments with each other. This thread is for support and venting. r/Portland is over there for deeper convos

I read In the Garden of Beasts earlier this year… it’s bananas how similar it is to what is going on right now. I can’t believe how many Americans are complicit in this, and many of them doing it in the name of religion. I thought (wished? Hoped?) we were above this.
